Daniel Was There.


A rich old Spectator imagined that
he knew about art whereas he was an
ignoramus in regard to everything, in
fact, except in making money. This
old fraud determined to make valu-
able present to his son-in-law, who was
preacher.
1t was suggested TO him that an oil
painting representing Daniel in the
Lions Den would be very appropn
ate, so an order was given to painter
to produce the work of art. 1t was
almost finished when the old specula-
tor was called to inspect it. 1t repre-
scented a cross section Of the den with
Daniel walking about among the lions.
When the old man saw the picture he
refused to take it, He insisted that if
Daniel was in the den neither he nor
lions could be seen, and the artist had
to cover the lions and Dan with a thick
coat of black paint
When the son-in-law was presented
with the picture he was somewhat
dazed to know what it represented.
ut represents Daniel in the Lions
Den, replied the art critic.
But | don't see either of them"
THAT makes no difference. They
are in there. ! saw 'em myself. -

This Generation and The Last.

There is more philosophy in brief
conversation which was repeated to the
editor Of the Courier recently than in
many a volume upon hereditary and
inherited tendencies. An old lady was
demonstrating with her niece, an
uuder-vitaized, nervous invalid, about
h>r lack Of energy, and holding up for
hel emulation the awful yigor OF her
ancestors.
"Why, your grandmother" the aunt
said. mad Il baby born in the morn
ing and in the afternoon she went up
to the attic and brought down her
hax-wheel into the back chamber and
spun a hank of linen"
Il dare say she did, Aunt Louis, -
was the invalid's response; 'and have
to pay for it. If grandmother had
taken decent care OF herself her grand
children might have strength enough
to rise mp and call her blessed. As it
is, ] feel very much more like cursing
her for ill-judged energy. BOSTON

me sadly. have tried to do my duty,
and | have hope beyond the grave.
Think of me as one at rest. And,
MOLLY, YOU are too littlc fitted 10 battle
with the world to remain wiz lout a
protector. Some time, if 4 good man
tries to win YOU for wife. do not re-
main single for my sake. 1t would
make me happy to see you tenderly
cared for, and | would not have q
selfish influence over you from my
silent resting-place"
Molly's tears fell silently as she
listened, but they We're not remorSeful
drops, for she had been true To Rich
ard in her heart even if bewilder-
ing dream had come To her to WOO her
from her duty 10 him. So those last
few hours were peaceful ones.
Richard died with his head pillowed
upon her breast, and with his last look
fastened upon her tear-wet face.
1t was many long months before
Cecil renewed his suit With instinc-
tive delicacy, he waited for time to
soften the shock which had rent his
darling's tender heart.
Then he came to her and pleaded
his cause SO eloquently that Molly
could not refuse him But it was a
chastened affection which filed her
heart. tempered at first with many
thoughts of him who had been stricken
down so suddenly in his young man
hood
And Cecil, happy in the possession
of his treasure. is not jealous of the
dead. He often accompanies Molly to
Richards grave, and listens with
tender reverence TO her as she tells
him how noble and true he was in
heart and life.
Once she said to him gravcly:
Eve owe our happiness to him,
Cecil. for | should have been true to
his memory through my whole life,
and have remained single for his sake,
had he not willed it to be different.
He was unselfsh to the last.
MAY his mantle fall upon me, was
Cecips answer, "and may | be the
better man for what you have told me
of him. So his influence will live, al
though his life was cut short
And after years proved that his wish
came true, for his was IA name which
rang through the world, appended to
noble, charitable deeds.
Whenever there was need of aid,
his was the hand to administer bounty.
So one noble life ever influences
another.

THE CARMODY CASE.

| From the Socorro Bullion -
There has probably never been more
important or exciting case tried in Socor-
ro county than that of the Territory VS..
Patrick Carmody ct al, on charge of
the murder of William Virgins, at San
Marcial in September, 1882.
Three weeks ago the first jurors in the
case were chosen, and, after some little
difficulty, the required number of twelve
was secured. While the commissioners
appointed by the court were considering
the names OF various parties to serve on
this jury, the case of Staab vs. Schey was
unfortunately taken up, and during the
progress of this trial, which lasted nearly
a week, the jurors in the Carmody case
were confirmed. 1t was with great
feeling of relief that they We're finally
called upon to listen to the testimony,
which was TO last two long weeks.
The prosecution introduced four witnes-
ses, while the defense called upon over
thirty, and it was upon the testimony of
these different witnesses that one Of the
fierce 1T and brilliant contests that ever
took place between prosecution and de-
fense was enacted. The statements OF
each witness were carefully noted and
played prominent part in the closing
arguments before the jury.
All the skill and tact that could be
were displayed by both sides
in the examination and often times
chance, or an unexpectedly put question
would bring out important evidence.
The defense tried hard to prove an ali
hi and brought in numerous witnesses to
swear that Patrick Carmody was at a
dance at the time OF the murder OF Wig |
gins, while the prosecution introduced |
men who swore that they, in person, saw
Harmody commit the deed. And thus
the whole case the testimony |
If one side was contradicted by that OF
he other, until it would seem an utter
for the jury to determine the
rue state OF affairs. There was a general
ceiling OF relief when the testimony was
Ill in, and the time for the argument had
arrived
On Wednesday evening at seven O'Clock
Mr.. Jackson, the prosecuting attorney,

SAYS the Silver City Enterprise: "The
trial of Pillar will be an interesting one.
1t viii probably take place during this
term Of court. Judge Henderson has APP
pointed A. IL. Harlee attorney for the
defendant. 1t will be remembered that
he is charged with the murder OF Deputy
Sheriff Hall, while the latter was riding
into town from Pinos Altos. A Mexican
girl furnished the information that Pillar
was the wayside assassin, and that he
did not shoot in self-defensc. Until re-
Gently the murderer could not be found;
but over in Arizona he finally confessed
his identity and claimed to have killed in
self-defense. The fatal bullet entered
and ranged in such way as to show
that the officer was shot from behind,
and therefore the physicians testimony
will probably upset the theory of sef-de-
fense. The general belief is that Pillar
will be found guilty Of murder in the first
degree and receive the death sentence.

the technical defect in the law relating to

simple statement of his side OF the case.
Judge Wanen's appeal in behalf OF tho
defendants began at two O'Clock, and was
continued for about three hours and
half. With his usual eloqnence, en-
HANGED by deep interest in the case,
he reviewed the testimony in behalf OF
the defendants, and attacked the weak
points in that of the prosecution.
Not II stone was left unturned. nor a
port-hole left open through which tho
shafts OF the opposing counsel might find
entrance to make a breach in his defense.
The closing speech Of Mr.. jackson o.
cupied several hours, and consisted main
ly in the rebuttal of points made by Judge
Warren and the continuance Of the argu-
ment respecting the testimony Of the
different witnesses.
When Mr.. Jackson ceased speaking
Judge Brinker proceeded to instruct tho
jury regarding their duty in the case.
He reeited the indictments found by the
grand jury, and fully explained their
meaning; after which, the jury was con.
Quoted TO the jury room and court adj
journel.
The jury brought in verdict Of "guilty
of murder in the first degree" against all
three defendants.
During the progress OF the trial, and
more particularly while the arguments
were being delivered, the court room was
crowded. Many ladies were present and
listened with great interest to the speak
ers. Mr.. Chavez, the interpreter, de-
serves great credit for the faithful and
aredifable manner in which he performed
Ihe duty that devolyed upon him.
